Not something many people are using but it seems that command line options aren’t working anymore while using OS X.

Neither this:

./cider —cmdline “-image” (you can use any option you want, none work)

nor using the CiderSettings.plist works.

Haven’t tried playing GW2 on my Macbook for quite a while (before the launcher change away from Awesomium) so it might be related with the switch to Coherent UI (not that I could test this in any way).

Ooohh shinies!

Not sure if you still need it, but this works for me (inspired in https://help.guildwars2.com/entries/28148006-Repairing-the-Game-Client):

/Applications/Guild\ Wars\ 2.app/Contents/MacOS/cider -use-dos-cwd C:Gw2 -- C:\\GW2\\GW2.exe -autologin

Replacing “autologin” for any other option should work.

Yep that seems to work with most commands. Sadly (at least for me) it doesn’t work with -email, -password, -nopatchui.

Ooohh shinies!

I assume you’re making sure to include your email and password after those two commands inside []?
From memory, not all command line arguments will work on the mac client. It may be that unfortunately for you those commands just won’t work.
